Gargantua Black Hole.
This is the name of the wormhole in the New Star opposite Saturn's wormhole.
However, the Mutual Aid Society does not recognize this name. Long before Professor Brand arrived, the Mutual Aid Society's internal documents and plans had already simply and directly referred to this black hole as the " New Galaxy Black Hole ".
It means a black hole in New Star.
It doesn't mean anything else. I don't know if I'll change it to another name later, but there's no time to change it now.
After receiving the final instruction via spacetime communication, Spacecraft No. 1 began to actively enter orbit around Planet No. 1.
This planet is within the boundary of the black hole, where time has been greatly slowed down, jumping to a scale of over 60,000. However, as long as it doesn't enter the boundary, time is no different from other places.
This peculiar phenomenon is highly counterintuitive, and the answer lies in relativity.
Although relativity has been widely questioned in other spacetimes due to the existence of Spacetime Tunnel, it has not been truly overturned.
Because the system's Spacetime Tunnel cannot directly connect two locations in the same spacetime, it must go through another spacetime for a transfer.
Moreover, even if Spacetime Tunnel can connect the same spacetime, no situation of exceeding the speed of light occurs during the time travel process.
Information still needs to be transmitted via cables. Although a person can jump from point A to point B, the space in between is folded, just like a wormhole.
The result shows that it exceeded the speed of light, but the process itself did not.
Similar to the Warp Drive system, this involves skirting the line of legality.
From this perspective, the existence of Spacetime Tunnel actually aligns with the theory of relativity.
However, this still cannot change the fact that relativity is being questioned.
Over so many years, scholars have come to realize that science and engineering still have a lot of untapped potential.
Otherwise, where would all these "troublesome matters" come from in different timelines?
The autopilot-controlled Spacecraft No. 1 is incapable of understanding human society; it is currently acting according to instructions, having been programmed with intelligent procedures.
After it actively entered the orbit of Star No. 1, its time was separated from that of Earth and most other parts of the universe.
But the spacecraft's instruments were completely unaware of this; they continued to operate normally, with only some equipment failing to detect it.
An error message appeared regarding the effects of the black hole.
At the same time, the Spacetime Tunnel that had been inside the spaceship suddenly closed, and the communication cable connecting the spaceship to the Wandering Spacetime was also instantly severed.
Once fully autonomous, the spaceship began circling above Planet No. 1 as planned, recording data from its exploration.
At the same time, it also sent out high-powered signals to the surrounding area, attempting to contact Dr. Miller, who had arrived here eight years ago.
Beep beep beep...
An indicator tone sounded in the empty cabin, and the red connection indicator light flashed continuously.
Two minutes later, the traffic light suddenly turned green.
A little earlier.
Miller, now forty years old, looked down at the water-filled planet from high above, his eyes brimming with undisguised joy.
Water, the source of life!
Moreover, it's such a vast expanse of liquid water directly exposed on the planet's surface, appearing to be boundless!
This suggests that this planet may very well be habitable!
She never expected to be so lucky, winning such a planet!
Moreover, judging from the gas composition detectors on the outside of the spacecraft, the air here is similar to that on Earth, so she might be able to breathe on this planet even without a helmet.
Miller is now itching to land on the ground immediately and conduct another round of testing on the planet.
Unfortunately, she wasn't a pilot named " Cooper ".
Although she successfully traversed the wormhole in her spaceship, just as Zhou Kun had previously commented, the astronauts' fundamentals were not solid. They relied heavily on autopilot in most situations, making it difficult to handle emergencies. Their manual piloting skills were far from advanced, even bordering on amateurish... (The last part, "Ma Chao," is a Chinese Super League-level player and doesn't directly relate to the preceding text.)
Well, I should still be able to get a passing grade.
So in this situation, she naturally couldn't do a race against time with an extreme descent like Cooper in the movie.
Now she can only activate the spaceship's autopilot system to find a safe place and land safely.
According to the system's estimate, this will take about half an hour.
Miller knew that there was an anomaly in the timeline on this planet. Although she wasn't a PhD in physics, she had been learning from Professor Brand for quite some time.
However, she cannot be like Emily.
Just like Asia, you can directly calculate the time difference between this planet and Earth in your mind.
But this percentage shouldn't be too serious, right?
While pondering, Miller stared at the planet outside the window for a long time, paying special attention to the distant mountains, before returning to his seat and sending out the initial information about the planet.
First and foremost, there is water, a lot of water, lots and lots of liquid water!
Miller's brief message was all about water, and everyone who saw it could feel her delight.
Humanity is saved!
As he landed, Miller was already fantasizing about the success of Plan A.
Thump!
The Ranger spacecraft extended its landing gear and landed steadily on the ground, which was a shallow expanse of water. The surrounding area was also filled with such shallow water, and the land was completely covered by water.
Miller sensed something was off.
Wearing a spacesuit and carrying instruments, she stepped off the spacecraft and deliberately stomped heavily on the ground, only to find that the ground was hard!
Soaked in so much water, yet I can't feel a speck of mud? Xxs-2
Could it be that this area was recently flooded?
She bent down and began taking soil samples next to the spacecraft, and then something even more surprising happened.
The soil was harder than she had imagined!
Like a rock polished by wind and rain, even if she scrapes the ground hard with a shovel, she can't get a single sample out.
Miller began to sense that something was wrong.
She looked around and saw that the surroundings were extremely empty, with only her and the spaceship. The rest of the world was just endless seawater, and the terrain was completely flat, except for a tall, horizontal mountain range in the far distance.
That towering mountain range was so tall it seemed to cleave the planet in two.
"Let's go check out other places!"
Miller, carrying his equipment, wanted to walk further away to see if other places also had rocky terrain.
Or did the spaceship land on a rock?
However, just as she took her first step...
A rapid sound entered her ears through the helmet.
Beep beep beep!
That's the sound of receiving a message!
Is it possible for Earth to send itself messages on this planet?
Or is there a civilization on this planet?
Was it some unknown creature that sent her an expulsion order?
